Thank you to all the companies and individuals that participated in this year’s ADDY^® Competition. Competition was extremely tough this year and it was truly amazing to see the wide range of incredible talent that we have in this market. In spite of reduced advertising and marketing budgets, creativity seemed to have climbed in this economy. Our clients obviously needed more bang for their buck this year, and with the creativity that I saw come through, our advertisers and designers delivered!

All Suncoast Gold & Silver ADDY winners have the opportunity to advance on to the next level of competition, competing for one of the highly coveted District ADDY Awards. From there, the winners are forwarded on to the National ADDY Competition. The ADDYs are the most difficult awards to win in the industry. Winning an ADDY at any level is an achievement in itself and one you should be extremely proud of.  Your ADDY^® represents the success of creative concepts, eye-catching ideas and the portrayal of a persuasive message that reaches out to grab your customer’s attention. With your ADDY^®, we are honored to have you on our "A"-List.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all our wonderful sponsors and volunteers for their endless support. Without your help and dedication, this event would not have been possible.

Thank you again for supporting the American Advertising Federation-Suncoast. See you next year!
